There is this thing about engineers that we should be flexible to make changes, to champion change in the economy. Afterall it is the engineers who enhance technology and increase potential output.

These few days I am caught of guard by questions which are unconventional, because we are so use to getting from process A to process B to process C. When the question is if I am to adjust process C by this amount what will the new value of input for process A be?

The world is full of opposites and I am glad my mind is opening to learn about them.

Window glass keeps air out but lets light in. Before that did you know that windows were cut in the wall and could be closed with a solid cover, or with shutters to let air in and keep light out?

William Faraday observed a current of electricity passing through a wire could have the effect of causing the magnetized needle of a compass to deflect - that is to move in a rotational direction - when the compass was located close to the wire. This discovery is the basis for his invention of the electric motor. Faraday took a mental leap and test if the opposite is possible, questioning if a moving magnet chould cause electricity to flow. His curiosity and discovery allowed us to use AC generators on top of DC generators.

And there's more...

God became man so we may be like him. He came to Earth so that we may go to heaven.
Jesus became sin so that we may be deem righteous (because of Him and his death).
He lived to die that we may not die and live through Him.
The radical gospel just reverse our terrible condition like no one has ever known.

I want to see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel
For more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You...
